MarchFest is not just for beer
lovers; it's a great event for
the whole family with a
dedicated children's area, in
addition to a large line-up of entertain-
ment, food and of course boutique
brews.
Held annually at Founders Parks,
MarchFest is on Saturday, March 22.
Nelson has more craft breweries per
head of the population than anywhere
else in the country -- 16.6 per cent of New
Zealand's breweries serving just 2.25 per
cent of the country's population -- and
many of them will have their best brews
available on the day, along with local
wines, ciders and a few beer-inspired ac-
tivities. Check out the Brew Zone for in-
stance, or head along to the Beer and
Food Matching Lunch to pit your taste
buds against those of fellow beer lovers.
Breweries taking part include not just
locals, but a select few from neighbour-
ing Marlborough too. In the lineup are
Dale's Brewing Co, Founders, Golden Bear
Brewing Company, Hop Federation Brew-
ery, Lighthouse, Liquid Alchemy,
McCashin's Brewery, Moa Beer, Mussel
Inn, Renaissance, Sprig & Fern, Totara
Brewing Co, Townshend's, West Coast
Brewing and 8 Wired Brewing.
MarchFest offers plenty of yummy
food for all the family. For children, the
Kids Zone will be open from 1pm till
7pm.
As usual, MarchFest will feature local,
national and international acts, to create
a high class musical backdrop to the
event.
Included are Iva Lamkum, The Eastern,
Lindon Puffin, Adam Page, The Electric
Fleas and Tom's Field.
